The response from the Minnis campaign has been priceless--for her opponent, Rob Brading.

Minnis is stating that her campaign didn't violate House rules with the fundraising video. Technically she's correct. It doesn't. But what she doesn't tell her constituents is that there are no House rules that cover partisan political activity.

Unfortunately for Minnis..there are other rules governing this sort of thing.

"If the governing body allows one political groupto use public facilities, all groups should have the same opportunity. Thesame building policy should be used for everyone, including charging thesame fee or requiring the same permit."

That looks an awful lot like Rob Brading gets to use Minnis' office to film a campaign fundraising video for himself.

I had no idea that Minnis was this freaking stupid.

It also appears that Minnis may have violated State Capitol building policies which state that the chambers and the gallery outside the chambers are "for legislative purposes only".

Future PAC Executive Director Jon Issacs has sent a letter to Capitol Administrative Services Director, Dave Henderson outlining the issues on the use of the Capitol in this manner. If I don't hear back from Jon in a few days as to what he heard, I'll email Henderson myself and find out.
